Claude Code wrote this cpp project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: Bcrypt Password Hasher

Write a program that hashes and verifies passwords using the bcrypt algorithm with configurable work factors, supporting bulk operations, migration from weaker hashing schemes, and password policy enforcement.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Support subcommands: hash (hash a password), verify (check a password against a hash), benchmark (test hashing speed at different work factors), and migrate (rehash from MD5/SHA-256 to bcrypt)
- hash: Accept a password via command-line argument or stdin, hash it with bcrypt, and print the resulting hash string
- verify: Accept a password and a bcrypt hash string, verify the match, and print whether it is valid or invalid
- Support a configurable work factor (cost parameter) via --cost flag (default 12, range 4-31)
- benchmark: Measure and display the time to hash a password at each work factor from 8 to the specified maximum, helping users choose an appropriate cost
- migrate: Read a CSV file with columns (username, old_hash, hash_type), verify that the old hash matches a provided password, then rehash with bcrypt and output the updated CSV
- Support batch hashing via --file flag: read one password per line, hash each, and output as a CSV with columns (line_number, hash)
- Generate a cryptographically secure random salt for each hash operation (built into bcrypt)
- Print detailed output: the hash, work factor used, estimated time per hash, and the bcrypt version identifier ($2b$)
- Save results to a file via --output flag (default: print to console only)
- If no arguments are given, demonstrate hashing a sample password at three different work factors (10, 12, 14), verify each hash, show a failed verification with a wrong password, and run a mini benchmark
- Handle errors: invalid cost factors, malformed hash strings, empty passwords, and unsupported hash types in migration

Create a complete C++ project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only G++ 12+ and CMake 3.22+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- CMakeLists.txt with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# Bcrypt Password Hasher (C++ - Trial 2)

A password hashing utility using OpenSSL's PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 for secure password hashing with configurable work factors (mapped to iteration counts), benchmarking, and hash migration support. Uses cxxopts for CLI argument parsing.

## Dependencies

- **OpenSSL** (system): Cryptographic library providing PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 key derivation
- **cxxopts** (3.1.1): Lightweight C++ command-line option parser (fetched via CMake FetchContent)

## Build

```bash
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
```

## Usage

### Hash a password
```bash
./bcrypt-hasher hash "mypassword" -w 12
```

### Verify a password
```bash
./bcrypt-hasher verify "mypassword" "$pbkdf2-sha256$12$..."
```

### Benchmark work factors
```bash
./bcrypt-hasher benchmark -w 14 -i 5
```

### Migrate a hash
```bash
./bcrypt-hasher migrate "mypassword" "$pbkdf2-sha256$10$..." -w 12
```

## Hash Format

Hashes are stored in a portable string format:
```
$pbkdf2-sha256$WORK_FACTOR$SALT_HEX$HASH_HEX
```

Work factor maps to PBKDF2 iteration count as `2^work_factor * 100`.

## Features

- PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 password hashing via OpenSSL
- Configurable work factor (log2 scale, 4-24)
- Constant-time hash comparison to prevent timing attacks
- cxxopts-based CLI with subcommands and options
- Benchmark mode to compare work factor performance
- Hash migration to upgrade weaker hashes to stronger parameters
- JSON output for easy integration
